The mentorship program for 2022 offers the opportunity to receive individual instruction from an Open Studios artist at no cost to the participant. It is open to both aspiring artists and experienced artists of all ages from 16 and up .
How it works
A number of mentorships were offered in 2022. Each paired one artist ( the mentor ) with one student. Each mentorship includes at least nine hours of instruction spread over several sessions.
The mentorships are listed below. The mentor and student have arranged for the mentoring to take place at a mutually convenient time. The mentor provides one on one guidance to the student.
Students who complete their mentorship will get the opportunity to be featured on our Website and on our Facebook and Instagram pages.
